Randi had a blind date last night!! Not good. Too funny, says it's

[monmouth]

very bad "out there" in the blind date world I guess. Her single Jewish girlfriends are looking into convents, and he did ask her if she liked to talk politics. She said "no, not when I'm drinking." What a hoot..

[orleans]

1. i missed the opening. but i heard her talking where the guy said

he doesn't think you should talk about politics & religion in public (and randi thought: wait till you find out what i do for a living!)

QUESTION: how did she get set up with this guy???

[SmokingJacket]

2. Sheesh, there ought to be plenty of good single liberal men

right here on DU. Maybe one of us should play matchmaker...

[hippiechick]

8. Well, heck ... if you do ...

... I wouldn't mind being match-made with a hunky liberal DU guy, either! :loveya:

16. Well, crap.

And here I am, already taken. :-)

[hippiechick]

17. darn it.

:( I never have any luck.

3. He said "I don't know anything about politics and I don't

like to discuss them in public".

Sounds like he never asked her what she does for a living. Did I hear that right?

[bdamomma]

4. she's too funny.

:rofl:

must have been quite the evening an insurance man, how boring is that, for Randi????

[LSK]

5. he didnt think you should talk politics in public

:rofl:

6. The only thing worse than getting stuck on a date with

someone who wants to sell you insurance is an Amway terrorist.

7. That's too damn funny! "do you like to talk politics?" ROFL!!!

[monmouth]

9. I guess I heard it wrong, I thought he asked her about talking politics.

That's why I laughed too, thinking God if he knew what she did for a living. I don't know how she got fixed up but "Berger" was with her. Berger (her aide I think) told her not to wear a turtle neck sweater, there would be too many layers between her and the date!! Wha? Wha?? Damn near fell off my chair here on that one.. She really did have some good laughs if only for herself. I really like her, wouldn't you love to hang out with her sometime at a sports bar??

12. She brought a friend

on a date? It's too bad this poor smuck doesn't have a public forum to rant on. I'd be interested to hear his take on the evening.

[lukasahero]

15. Re: "She brought a friend" - On a "blind" date, damn straight she did

It's pretty common these days.

I'm not sure the guy would have much to rant on since he never even asked her what she did for a living...

[azmouse]

14. And then her date shows up in a turtleneck!

:rofl:

[Richard Steele]

20. I laughed because it reminded me of the most HILARIOUS "straight man" line I ever delivered..

I was at one of those horrid "banquet honorariums" that
my sweetie drags me to a few times every goddamn year, and I ended up sitting
next to the fricking Mayor.

After 90 minutes of speeches and 5 big glasses of Merlot, I screwed my
courage to the sticking-spot, looked him right in the eye, and used my most
innocent voice to ask: "So tell me, Bill, what do you do for a living?"

The look on his face: PRICELESS.

10. I was picking my son up at school - missed this!

[monmouth]

11. He was an insurance guy, and from what I got he tried to sell her insurance!!!!!

[helderheid]

13. LOL!

:rofl: Poor girl!!! Don't we have some nice liberal single men in NYC for her?!?

[Manifestor_of_Light]

18. Best place I know to look is the Unitarian church or Mensa.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

19. I Wonder If She Lets Her Dates Talk.

:rofl:

Just kidding, of course. :)
